I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I LOVE TO GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE, A GOOD SNACK, AND SIT DOWN AND INDULGE IN BLOG POSTS. HERE, YOU ARE WELCOME TO DO JUST THAT. CHECK OUT SOME OF MY RECENT WORK, KICK BACK, RELAX + ENJOY.
Things got steamy in the waterfall during this engagement session. L&B, this was an adventure of a lifetime and I loved every second of it!
Nicole & Brenden, where to begin. Your personalities are so incredibly contagious and I’ve never loved two humans more than I love you both. Seriously.
This wedding was a bohemian dream from start to finish, and I’m so glad I could have been a part of it.

Ohhhh my sweet covid couples. What a year this has been. This session took place on their original wedding date, because covid messed that one up. We started at the Cotton Factory in Hamilton, then ventured to a waterfall nearby.
McMaster, Dundas, Dogs, Murals, and special messages from a lost loved one. This is a blog post and a story you don’t want to miss.
Waterfall engagement sessions are the bomb. I’ve photographed at this spot hundreds of times and it never gets old, seriously. I’d share all of the waterfall galleries on here, but that might get a little repetitive :’)
We woke up to a super rainy, gloomy, foggy day. I had asked Taufiq if he still wanted to go through with the proposal, or wait for better weather. He responded, “I can’t wait any longer to marry this girl, let’s do it, rain or shine” … and BOY - am I ever glad we did.
Woah guys, I’m stoked to share this wedding with you. Toronto is such a fun city and this Archeo wedding was no exception. I absolutely adore the Distillery District and all the industrial vibes down there. I wish we had more venues like this in the Hamilton area, but only being an hour away from this - I can’t complain. Distillery weddings are totally my vibe.
I have never seen a love so beautiful, pure, raw, and mesmerizing until I met Andrea and Steven.
The sparkle in their eyes as they talk about each other, and the breathtaking vows they said at the ceremony. Oh, those sweet, beautiful vows. To this day, I still can’t read or listen to them without crying.
M&C had a beautiful intimate ceremony at the Cockpit Theatre at Dundurn Castle in Hamilton. I’ll be honest, I’ve photographed at Dundurn hundreds of times HOWEVER, never went inside this building. This was my first time seeing the inside and I was blown away at how beautiful it is. The rustic stone walls, the wood accents, the giant skylight - it was stunning. Who knew this beautiful piece of history was so close to home AND the perfect ceremony spot.

The Spice Factory is one of my favourite venues in the Hamilton area. I love the small, intimate & cozy vibes the building has, and you CAN’T go wrong with the gorgeous exposed brick and city loft vibes. An absolute dream venue to photograph at!

Winter weddings are SO underrated. Honestly, it doesn’t get much more beautiful than this. What’s not to love about bright white snow, cozy candle lit ceremonies, fur throws (faux of course), and all the l o v e. This February I got to photograph a stunning winter wonderland wedding at the Ancaster Mill, followed by some photos at the RBG, and finishing off the reception at the Oakville Conference Centre.
To say this year has been incredible would be an understatement. I’ve recapped some of my favourite moments from 2018 in this blog post. Grab a snack, sit back, and enjoy!
Amanda & Hayden have grown a special place in my heart. They are high school sweethearts (d’aww, who doesn’t melt at these types of stories? I sure do), and you could feel the love radiate through them. Their families are out of this world amazing. They were EASILY one of the funniest, loving, down to earth groups yet. And that dance floor - just wait until you get to those photos. I may be biased, but us Portuguese know how to party ;)

A night in Paris… and no, not Paris France. Although, this cute little town could easily pass as just that. Come along and see what this adorable city nighttime engagement session looked like!

This day was WILD! As I was driving to this session, I almoooost made the call to cancel it. The rain storm was absolutely insane, and the sky was pitch black it almost felt like it was night. Absolute insane weather that came out of NO WHERE. I ended up hyping myself up and saying - screw it. We’re shooting. Rain or shine. AND I’M SO GLAD I DID.
Engagement sessions are the bomb. I know I’ve said it before, but getting to hang out with your clients for a few hours is such a great opportunity to get to know them a little better leading up to their wedding day. For example, heading out to Vittoria/Port Ryerse to document the love between these two and where it all began.
Suzanne wanted to honour her Vietnamese culture by wearing the traditional Vietnamese outfits during the reception at their wedding. They changed right at the end of the night - so we barely had time to take photos in the outfit. Only getting a few quick shots on the wedding day, we decided to do a “post-wedding” session, where they got to throw the traditional outfits back on and have a PROPER photo session.
Jocelyn & Steven kicked off my 2019 with an epic couples sesh out in Dundas. We started off at one of my favourite spots, Detour Cafe, then ventured through the Art Gallery, and finished off in a forest nearby. We wanted some urban vibes mixed with winter & nature, and that’s exactly what we got.

I looked back on old work today. Stumbled upon it, more specifically.
As an artist and creative, I can't tell you enough how important it is to do this.
